Project Grant K08AI182475
- This Project Grant award of $104,262, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to explore the relationship between genetic variants, transcriptional responses, and tuberculosis (TB) infection outcomes in macrophages derived from genetically diverse mice. The project aims to understand the basis for variability in TB infection outcomes, which may help identify ways to...
- This $209,408 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program, supports a research project to characterize the role of unconventional T cell subsets in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection using a non-human primate model. The goal is to gain a better understanding of these niche T cell populations in the lung granulomas during the early stages of MTB...
- This Project Grant award of $802,499, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.855), aims to characterize the genetic factors involved in tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility and their interaction with the immune system. The key objectives are to: 1) generate population-level genetic data on 5,000 case-control samples from diverse South African populations to identify genetic markers associated...
- This $450,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) aims to enhance the understanding of macrophage subsets in tuberculosis (TB) infection and lesion biology. The project will leverage the C3HeB/FeJ mouse model, which forms the caseous necrotic lesions observed in human TB, to investigate how different lung macrophage subsets influence...
- This Project Grant award of $3,145,850.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) federal grant program. The award supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate macrophage senescence as a driver of granuloma failure and necrosis in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and TB/HIV coinfection. Key objectives include understanding the role of stress-induced senescence in myeloid...
- This Project Grant award of $2,944,529 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to understand resistance and tolerance to the tuberculosis (TB) drugs pretomanid (PA) and delamanid (DLM) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The goal is to apply innovative genome-wide screens to identify the MTB genes that determine PA/DLM potency, analyze the key resistance determinant...
- This $193,375 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to identify bacterial determinants that may contribute to variable treatment responses for tuberculosis (TB). The project, conducted by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, aims to investigate the effects of clinically prevalent variants in the ESX1 secretion system on TB...
- This $162,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to characterize the role of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The research aims to quantify PDC trafficking and activation in the lungs during MTB infection, and determine how PDC-driven type I interferon responses impact MTB control. The project will leverage a mouse model that...
- This federal Project Grant award of $819,998.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco. The purpose of the award is to conduct research to understand how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection triggers host cell death mechanisms, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic targets to augment protective...
- This federal Project Grant award, totaling $404,108, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports research to identify the key genetic and signaling pathways that enable Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to form antibiotic persister cells, which can survive prolonged exposure to lethal antibiotics. The research aims to apply genetic and proteomic approaches to...
This $194,940 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) with a start date of August 12, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2030. The primary goal of this research project is to discover the global human genetic regulators, including genes and genetic variants, that control macrophage antimicrobial responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The project aims to determine the mechanisms by which MTB-dependent expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and their target genes regulate macrophage antimicrobial responses, as well as the allele-specific antimicrobial mechanisms of these MTB eQTLs and their association with clinical outcomes. This research seeks to advance the understanding of host genetic factors that influence susceptibility and resistance to tuberculosis infection.
